Well, first of all each member of the "Memphis Mafia" was someone who; Elvis knew (some of them for three decades), Elvis trusted, Elvis confided in, Elvis worked with, and in some cases lived with Elvis. There is no doubt that when three of the members of the "Memphis Mafia" were fired by Vernon Presley, Elvis' Father, and only given 2 weeks pay after working for Elvis for three decades, they were extremely hurt and felt betrayed. They went on to write a book entitled "Elvis What Happened" and Elvis was hurt, furious, and resentful and feared that this book would; hurt his daughter Lisa Marie, hurt his relationship with his fans, hurt his career, and permanently damage his good name. Two of these men were Red West and his cousin Sonny West who Elvis had befriended in High School at Humes High School in Memphis. They were among Elvis' oldest friends. Since Elvis' passing Red West and Sonny West have suffered and have shared their pain, and regrets, openly in documentary as well as their love for Elvis. Forgiveness, especially when it comes to Elvis Fans, is not always given freely. However, when it comes to Red West and Sonny West there is no doubt that Elvis loved them and that they, even to this day, love Elvis. Some of the other members have (sadly) passed away, with the most recent being Lamar Fike, and the remaining members have given their time to reach out to Elvis Fans Worldwide and share their memories of Elvis. Marty Lacker continues to be a tireless Elvis Presley advocate who has "corrected" countless falsehood about Elvis both in print and online. Joe Esposito has his own Website and has written several memorable books about Elvis and included rare photographs. Billy Smith, Elvis' Cousin, has appeared in several Elvis Documentarys as have Joe Esposito, Marty Lacker, Red West, Sonny West, Lamar Fike, etc. Since Elvis had previously "fired" other members of the Memphis Mafia some believe that Elvis MIGHT have rehired Red West and Sonny West. Like many things about Elvis we will never know. When you take the relationships (both invdividually and collectively) in full context of the "Memphis Mafia" you find that they are quality, and honest, men who were put into circumstances that only they could...understand. Since these men are among the few living/breathing men, that spent the majority of Elvis life with them 24/7, they should be held accountable for their actions/inactions both when Elvis was alive and equally as important...after Elvis died. I hope that this answers your question.
I believe you are talking about the firing of Red West, Sonny West, and (I don't mention his name but his initial are D.H.). Actually Vernon Presley fired these men and the reasons given were; lawsuits against Elvis for injuring fans and they accused Red and Sonny for injuring them, and Elvis had to cut back on his expenses. These men were livid that they weren't allowed to talk to Elvis directly, as they were his oldest friends/co-workers, and that they were given 1 weeks pay after working for Elvis for three decades. Elvis was livid, and hurt, when Red Sonny and DH wrote the book "Elvis What Happened". I believe that it was one of Elvis' regrets that he did not take advantage of an opportunity to speak with Sonny and Red and start the healing process himself. But, when you have grown men who both felt betrayed emotions run very high and then (sadly) Elvis died on August 16, 1977 silencing (on this earth) forever the opportunity to ...reconcile.
From the time of his birth (i.e. January 8, 1935) until her death (i.e. August 14, 1958) Elvis' best friend was his beloved Mother named Gladys Love (Smith) Presley. Other than his beloved Mother Elvis had several childhood friends who, at numerous times, also worked with him. This would include Red West, Sonny West, and Jerry Schilling. Elvis also befriended, while serving in the US Army from early 1958 through March 1960, Charlie Hodge and Joe Esposito. Additionally, several other friends of Elvis were; Marty Lacker, Lamar Fike, Gee Gee Gambril, Billy Smith, Gene Smith, JD Sumner, etc.
Well i work at Red robin as a hospo or host and i get paid $8.00/hr
black and white that's why he wore his clothes in those colors
Inasmuch as one person can truly "know" another I would say that Red West, Sonny West, and Jerry Schilling knew Elvis the longest - worked with him for decades - and were members of Elvis entourage known as "The Memphis Mafia".
There is a mega-rare red vinyl copy. Only one known to exist of, maybe more. LOC-1035 Elvis' Christmas Album. $18,000+
